Question

Paypal wont open in an iframe, so I am trying to make paypal open in a new window or tab when the checkout with paypal button is pressed, using Magento 1.4+

I guess I add a target=”_blank” somewhere, but I dont know where.

There are a load of files in \app\code\core\Mage\Paypal\ but I dont know which to edit, adn would prefer to do it without using core files

I found this for paypal express in app\code\core\Mage\Paypal\Block\Express\Shortcut.php

protected $_startAction = 'paypal/express/start';

How would I just open that in a new window?

Thanks Paul – I did this instead to the same file and it worked!

Change (my line 33)

<a id="<?php echo $shortcutHtmlId ?>" href="<?php echo $this->getCheckoutUrl()?>">

to

<a id="<?php echo $shortcutHtmlId ?>" href="<?php echo $this->getCheckoutUrl()?>" target="_blank">

Easy but wouldn’t have done it without Paul’s help
